More about S7-1500 function modules and how to choose them
SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-1500 function and technology modules
Technology modules extend the SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC with specialised hardware functions for applications requiring fast or precisely timed signal processing. They are used, for example, for pulse counting, frequency and speed measurement, position detection or drive control.
Depending on the application, TM Count, TM PosInput, TM Timer, TM PTO or the programmable TM FAST module can be used. When replacing a module, it is important to check not only the order number, but also the type of connected sensor, encoder or drive and its configuration in TIA Portal.
TM Count
Modules for high-speed pulse counting and frequency or speed measurement. They are used, for example, with incremental or pulse sensors.
TM PosInput
Technology modules for counting and position detection. They can process signals from RS-422 incremental encoders or SSI absolute encoders.
TM Timer
Modules with time-controlled digital inputs and outputs for applications where precise timing of binary signals is important.
TM PTO and TM FAST
TM PTO is used to control stepper drives via pulse outputs. TM FAST is a flexibly programmable module for high-speed technology applications.
How to choose the right S7-1500 function module?
When replacing an existing module, the safest method is to use the complete SIEMENS order number. When selecting another module, we recommend comparing in particular:
- required technology function,
- number of channels,
- type of connected sensor, encoder or drive,
- electrical level of input and output signals,
- required signal processing speed,
- hardware and firmware version of the module,
- wiring and channel configuration,
- compatibility with the hardware configuration in TIA Portal.
Typical S7-1500 function and technology modules
| Order number | Module type | Type / application |
|---|---|---|
| 6ES7550-1AA01-0AB0 | TM Count 2x24 V | High-speed pulse counting, frequency and speed measurement |
| 6ES7551-1AB01-0AB0 | TM PosInput 2 | Counting and position detection using incremental or SSI encoders |
| 6ES7552-1AA00-0AB0 | TM Timer DIDQ 16x24 V | Time-controlled digital inputs and outputs |
| 6ES7553-1AA00-0AB0 | TM PTO 4 | Four-channel interface for stepper drive control |
| 6ES7554-1AA00-0AB0 | TM FAST | Programmable module for high-speed technology applications |
TM Count, PosInput, Timer, PTO or FAST?
TM Count is primarily intended for high-speed counting and frequency or speed measurement. TM PosInput is used where position data from an encoder needs to be evaluated. TM Timer provides precise timing of digital signals, while TM PTO generates pulse signals for drive control.
TM FAST is intended for special high-speed applications where signal processing needs to be flexibly adapted. When selecting or replacing a module, we recommend using the exact order number and the required technology function.
New and refurbished function modules from stock
For current SIMATIC S7-1500 technology modules, we primarily check the availability of a new original SIEMENS part. We use an extensive European warehouse network with more than 900,000 industrial spare parts.
This also enables us to source refurbished, older, obsolete or hard-to-find function modules. If you cannot find a specific order number in the e-shop, send it to us and we will prepare a quotation with price and delivery time.
Repairs of SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-1500 function modules
If you have a faulty function or technology module, you can send it to us for diagnostics and repair. Repairs are carried out in specialised repair centres in Europe with which we have established long-term cooperation.
These repair centres specialise in industrial electronics and repaired modules are functionally tested before being returned to the customer.
SIPLUS S7-1500 function modules
Selected SIPLUS S7-1500 versions are also available for applications operating under more demanding environmental conditions. You can find them in a separate SIPLUS function modules subcategory.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ideally, send us the complete SIEMENS order number from the nameplate, for example 6ES7550-1AA01-0AB0, and the required quantity. We will prepare a quotation with price and delivery time, usually within 1 hour.
Yes. We also check other technology modules in European warehouses. Send us the order number and we will prepare a quotation based on current availability.
TM Count is primarily used for high-speed pulse counting and frequency or speed measurement. TM PosInput is intended for position detection using incremental or absolute encoders.
TM PTO generates pulse output signals for drive control. When selecting it, the required electrical interface, number of channels and configuration of the specific application should be checked.
Not always. The technology function, number of channels, electrical interface, sensor, encoder or drive type, hardware and firmware version and TIA Portal configuration must be checked.
Yes. You can send the faulty module to FOXON. We will arrange diagnostics, repair and subsequent functional testing at a specialised European repair centre with which we have long-term cooperation.

How to capture sporadic faults on Siemens S7 PLCs
Sporadic faults on Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs are difficult to find using standard online diagnostics. In this article, we show how auto.spy analyzer helps capture signals, events and video on a single timeline and trace the root cause of the problem afterwards.
